IntegriScan – Electronic Leak Detection (ELD)
What is the function of IntegriScan™ in waterproofing membrane testing?
IntegriScan is the most accurate electronic testing method available for waterproofing membranes. IntegriScan™ is the only system that meets ASTM D8231-19 (Standard practice for Electronic Leak Methods for detecting and locating leaks).
This advanced, low-voltage test ensures 100% of the waterproofing membrane is free of breaches, holes, and seam voids. IntegriScan’s unique technology facilitates reliable testing compared to vector mapping and archaic flood. The IntegriScan equipment eliminates the need for a perimeter wire by limiting the testing area to directly below the Scanning Platform. Detec’s Vertical Scanning Unit (VSU) tests vertical surfaces, rebar flashings, and hard-to-reach areas.
The IntegriScan™ is the ONLY method for testing black EPDM and other semi-conductive waterproofing membranes. Tru Ground Conductive Primer also enables electronic testing on conventional assemblies with non-conductive substrates such as wood, insulation, and coverboard.
Benefits of meshless waterproofing membrane testing with IntegriScan™?
Waterproofing membranes provide a cost effective, durable and reliable solution for protecting buildings and infrastructure from water damage. It’s important to identify hidden leaks in waterproof membranes decks as these areas can be wide open, flat surfaces, or even worse, a lot of corners and protrusions which equally need protection. Improper installation or inadequate preparation of the surface can cause the membrane to fail prematurely. For example, if the surface is not cleaned and dried properly before installation, the membrane may not adhere properly, leading to leaks.
Then, once installed, there is foot traffic, furniture, and other objects which can cause damage to the membrane over time. We also should not forget building movement or settling of the underlying structure which can cause the membrane to tear or separate, allowing water to penetrate.
Specifying quality assurance testing techniques at the outset of your design or build project everyone involved in the project will have long term peace of mind:
- Verifies the integrity of roofing or waterproofing membranes.
- Pinpoints breaches, holes, and seam voids after membranes installation so repairs can be made immediately ensuring minimal impact on the construction schedule.
- Quick, efficient, and reliable. The IntegriScan platform can test up to 3500 m in a day.
- Ensures 100% coverage. Tests horizontal surfaces, vertical surfaces, details, and penetrations of the membranes.

How accurate is Integriscan?
We can guarantee its accuracy up to 98%.
Is the integriscan best method for leak detection?
For now, IntegriScan is the most compatible with new standards so it is the best and safest method for leak detection.
How does IntegriScan compare in cost to traditional methods like flood testing or vector mapping?
IntegriScan offers a non-invasive and more efficient method compared to traditional techniques like flood testing or vector mapping. While traditional methods can be labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming, IntegriScan’s advanced technology delivers quick, precise results with minimal disruption to the property. Although the initial cost might be slightly higher, it provides long-term savings due to its efficiency and reduced need for extensive repairs. The overall cost-effectiveness comes from its ability to detect issues early, preventing more costly damage down the line.
Is ELD suitable for both new and existing buildings?
Yes, Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) is suitable for both new and existing buildings. For new buildings, it ensures waterproofing systems are properly installed before completion. For existing buildings, it helps detect leaks in membranes without invasive methods, preventing further damage. Whether it’s a rooftop, balcony, or podium deck, ELD provides precise, non-destructive testing to identify even minor breaches. If you’re unsure whether ELD is right for your property, we can assess your specific needs and recommend the best approach.
Can this method be used on green roofs?
Yes, our IntegriScan method can be used on green roofs—provided the waterproofing membrane beneath the vegetation is compatible with the system. If you have a specific green roof configuration, we can tailor our approach to ensure you receive reliable results.
How soon can you schedule an ELD test?
Scheduling an Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) test depends on our current workload and your project’s location. However, we strive to accommodate urgent requests as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can schedule a test within a few days. For large-scale projects or high-demand periods, it may take a bit longer. Contact us with your project details, and we’ll provide you with the earliest available appointment to ensure a timely and efficient inspection.
Do you offer preventative leak detection inspections?
Yes, we offer preventative leak detection inspections to help identify potential issues before they become major problems. Our proactive approach includes thermal imaging, electronic leak detection (ELD), moisture testing, and door blower testing to assess the integrity of building envelopes, roofing systems, joinery, and cladding. By detecting early signs of water intrusion or weak points in a structure, we help property owners avoid costly repairs and maintain the long-term durability of their buildings.
